Then he said, “ Good night!” and with

mufHed oar

Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,

Just as the moon rose over the bay,

Where swinging wide at her moorings
lay

The Somerset, British man-of-war ;

A phantom ship, with each mast and

spar

Across the moon like a prison bar,

And a huge black hulk, that was
magnified

By its own reflection in the tide.

:

Meanwhile his friend, through alley and

street,
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grena-
diers,
Marching down to their boats on the

shore.

Then he climbed the tower of the Old

Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,

In their night-encampment on the hill,

Wrapped in silence so deep and still

Creeping along from tent to tent,

And seeming to whisper, “All is well!”

A moment only he feels the spell

Of the place and the hour, and the secret

Of the lonely belfry and the dead ;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the
bay, —
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats.

Then, impetuous, stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle-

But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry-tower of the Old North

As it rose above the graves on the hill,

Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.

A second lamp in the belfry burns!

A hurry of hoofs in a village street,

A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the
dark,

And beneath, from the pebbles, in pass-
ing, a spark

Struck out by a steed flying fearless and
fleet :

That was all! And yet, through the

gloom and the light,

The fate of a nation was riding that
night ;

And the spark struck out by that steed,
in his flight,

Kindled the land into flame with its heat.

He has left the village and mounted the

steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad
and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides ;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the
ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.

It was twelve by the village clock,
When he crossed the bridge into Med-

ford town.

He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer’s dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog,

That rises after the sun goes down.

It was one by the village clock,

When he galloped into Lexington.

He saw the gilded weathercock

Swim in the moonlight as he passed,

And the meeting-house windows, blank
and bare,

Gaze at him with a spectral glare,

As if they already stood aghast

At the bloody work they would look

upon.

And so through the night went his cry

A voice in the darkness, a knock at the

PAUL REVERE’S OWN ACCOUNT
OF HIS FAMOUS RIDE, GIVEN
IN A LETTER TO THE REV.
DR. JEREMY BELKNAP, COR-
RESPONDING SECRETARY OF
THE MASSACHUSETTS HIS-
TORICAL SOCIETY

Dear Sir, — Having a little leisure, I wish to
fulfil my promise of giving you some facts
and anecdotes prior to the battle of Lex-
ington, which I do not remember to have

seen in any History of the American Revo-

lution.

In the year 1773, I was employed by the
Selectmen of the town of Boston to carry the
account of the Destruction of the Tea to New
York; and afterwards, 1774, to carry their
despatches to New York and Philadelphia for
calling a Congress; and afterwards to Con-
gress several times. In the fall of 1774 and

Note. The original letter was undated. As first printed
(in an imperfect form) by Dr. Belknap in the Collections of
the Society it bore the date Jan. 1, 1798, but it may have
been written some years earlier.

winter of 1775, 1 was one of upwards of

thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed our-
selves into a committee for the purpose of
watching the movements of the British sol-
diers, and gaining every intelligence of the
movements of the Tories. We held our meet-
ings at the Green Dragon tavern. We were
so careful that our meetings should be kept
secret, that every time we met every person
swore upon the Bible that they would not dis-
cover any of our transactions but to Messrs.
Hancock, Adams, Doctors Warren, Church,

and one or two more.

7S 51 &*

About November, when things began to

grow serious, a gentleman who had connec-
tions with the Tory party, but was a Whig at
heart, acquainted me, that our meetings were
discovered, and mentioned the identical words
that were spoken among us the night be-
fore. We did not then distrust Dr. Church,
but supposed it must be some one among
us. We removed to another place, which we
thought was more secure; but here we found
that all our transactions were communicated to
Governor Gage. (This came to me through
the then Secretary Flucker; he told it to the

PAUL REVERE’S OWN ACCOUNT ©

gentleman mentioned above.) It was then a
common opinion, that there was a traitor in
the Provincial Congress, and that Gage was
possessed of all their secrets. (Church was a
member of that Congress for Boston.) In the
winter, towards the spring, we frequently took
turns, two and two, to watch the soldiers, by
patrolling the streets all night. The Saturday
night preceding the 19th of April, about 12
o’clock at night, the boats belonging to the
transports wereall launched, and carried under
the sterns of the men-of-war. (They had been
previously oe we; and ae ) We like-

wise found that the grenadiers and light infan-

try were all taken off duty.

From these movements, we expected some-
thing serious was to be transacted. On Tues-
day evening, the 18th, it was observed that a
number of soldiers were marching towards the
bottom ofthe Common. About 100’clock, Dr.
Warren sent in great haste for me, and begged
that I would immediately set off for Lexing-
ton, where Messrs. Hancock and Adams were,
and acquaint them of the movement, and that
it was thought they were the objects, When I
got to Dr. Warren’s house, I found he had

sent an express by land to Lexington, —a
Mr. William Dawes. The Sunday before, by
desire of Dr. Warren, I had been to Lexing-

ton, to Messrs. Hancock and Adams, who

were at the Rev. Mr. Clark’s. I returned at
night through Charlestown; there I agreed
with a Colonel Conant and some other gentle-
men, that if the British went out by water, we
wouldshow two lanthorns inthe North Church
steeple ; and if by land, one, as a signal ; for
we were apprehensive it would be difficult to
cross the Charles River, or get over Boston

Neck. I left Dr. Warren, called upona friend,

ESS 55 @&D*

and desired him to make the signals. I then

went home, took my boots and surtout, went
to the north part of the town, where I had
kept a boat; two friends rowed me across
Charles River, a little to the eastward where
the Somerset man-of-war lay. It was then
young flood, the ship was winding, and the
moon was rising. They landed me on the
Charlestown side. When I got into town, I
met Colonel Conant, and several others ; they
said they had seen our signals. I told them
what was acting, and went to get me a horse;

I got a horse of Deacon Larkin. While the

horse was preparing, Richard Devens, Esq.,
who was one of the Committee of Safety, came
to me, and told me that he came down the
road from Lexington, after sundown, that
evening ; that he met ten British officers, all
well mounted, and armed, going up the road.

I set off upon a very good horse; it was
then about eleven o’clock, and very pleasant.
After I had passed Charlestown Neck, and
got nearly opposite where Mark was hung in
chains, I saw two men on horseback, under a
tree. When I got near them, I discovered they
were British officers. One tried to get ahead

of me, and the other to take me. I turned
my horse very quick, and galloped towards
Charlestown Neck, and then pushed for the
Medford road. The one who chased me, en-
deavoring to cut me off, got into a clay pond,
near where the new tavern is now built. I got
clear of him, and went through Medford, over
the bridge, andupto Menotomy. In Medford,
I waked the Captain of the minute men; and
after that, I alarmed almost every house, till I
got to Lexington. I found Messrs. Hancock
and Adams at the Rev. Mr. Clark’s; I told
them my errand, and inquired for Mr. Dawes ;

they said he had not been there; I related
the story of the two officers, and supposed that
he must have been stopped, as he ought to
have been there before me. After I had been
there about half an hour, Mr. Dawes came;
we refreshed ourselves, and set off for Concord,
to secure the stores, &c. there. We were over-
taken bya young Dr. Prescot, whom we found
to be a high Son of Liberty. I told them
of the ten officers that Mr. Devens met, and
that it was probable we might be stopped be-
fore we got to Concord ; for I supposed that
after night, they divided themselves, and that

two of them had fixed themselves in such

passages as were most likely to stop any in-
telligence going to Concord. I likewise men-
tioned that we had better alarm all the inhabit-
ants till we got to Concord ; the young Doctor
much approved of it, and said he would stop
with either of us, for the people between that
and Concord knew him, and would give the
more credit to what we said. We had got nearly
half way: Mr. Dawes and the Doctor stopped
to alarm the people of a house: I was about
one hundred rods ahead, when I saw two men,

in nearly the same situation as those officers

<4) PAUL REVERE’S OWN ACCOUNT

were, near Charlestown. I called for the Doc-
tor and Mr. Dawes to come up; in an instant
I was surrounded by four ; — they had placed
themselves in a straight road, that inclined
each way ; they had taken down a pair of bars
on the north side of the road, and two of them
were under atree in the pasture. The Doctor
being foremost, he came up; and we tried to
get past them ; but they being armed with pis-
tols and swords, they forced us into the pas-
ture;— the Doctor jumped his horse over
a low stone wall, and got to Concord. I ob-

served a wood at a small distance, and made

for that. When I got there, out started six
officers, on horseback, and ordered me to dis-
mount ; —one of them, who appeared to have
the command, examined me, where I came
from, and what my name was? I told him.
He asked me if I was an express? I answered
in the affirmative. He demanded what time
I left Boston? I told him; and added, that
their troops had catched aground in passing
the river, and that there would be five hun-
dred Americans there in a short time, for I
had alarmed the country all the way up. He
immediately rode towards those who stopped

us, when all five of them came down upon a

full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards
found to be a Major Mitchel, of the sth
Regiment, clapped his pistol to my head,
called me by name, and told me he was going
to ask me some questions, and if I did not
give him true answers, he would blow my
brains out. He then asked me similar ques-
tions to those above. He then ordered me
to mount my horse, after searching me for
arms. He then ordered them to advance, and
to lead me in front. When we got to the road,
they turned down towards Lexington. When

EAS 63 &D*

SA) PAUL REVERE’S OWN ACCOUNT

we had got about one mile, the Major rode
up to the officer that was leading me, and told
him to give me to the Sergeant. As soon as
he took me, the Major ordered him, if I at-
tempted to run, or anybody insulted them,
to blow my brains out. We rode till we got
near Lexington meeting-house, when the mi-
litia fired a volley of guns, which appeared to
alarm them very much. The Major inquired
of me how far it was to Cambridge, and if
there were any other road? After some con-
sultation, the Major rode up to the Sergeant,
and asked if his horse was tired ? He answered

him, he was — (he was a Sergeant of Grena-

diers, and had a small horse)—then, said
he, take that man’s horse. I dismounted, and
the Sergeant mounted my horse, when they
all rode towards Lexington meeting-house.
I went across the burying-ground, and some
pastures, and came to the Rev. Mr. Clark’s
house, where I found Messrs. Hancock and
Adams. I told them of my treatment, and
they concluded to go from that house to-
wards Woburn. I went with them, and a Mr.
Lowell, who was a clerk to Mr. Hancock.
When we got to the house where they intended

to stop, Mr. Lowell and myself returned to

Mr. Clark’s, to find what was going on.
When we got there, an elderly man came in;
he said he had just come from the tavern, that
a man had come from Boston, who said there
were no British troops coming. Mr. Lowell
and myself went towards the tavern, when we
met a man on a full gallop, who told us the
troops were coming up the rocks. We after-
wards met another, who said they were close
by. Mr. Lowell asked me to go to the tavern
with him, to get a trunk of papers belong-
ing to Mr. Hancock. We went up cham-

ber; and while we were getting the trunk,
we saw the British very near, upon a full
march. We hurried towards Mr. Clark’s
house. In our way, we passed through the
militia. There were about fifty. When we
had got about one hundred yards from the
meeting-house, the British troops appeared
on both sides of the meeting-house. In their
front was an officer on horseback. They made
ashorthalt; when I saw, and heard,a gun fired,
which appeared to be a pistol. Then I could
distinguish two guns, and then a continual roar

of musketry ; when we made off with the trunk.

As I have mentioned Dr. Church, perhaps
it might not be disagreeable to mention some
matters of my own knowledge, respecting
him. He appeared to be a high Son of Lib-
erty. He frequented all the places where they
met, was encouraged by all the leaders of the
Sons of Liberty, and it appeared he was re-
spected by them, though I knewthat Dr. War-
ren had not the greatest affection for him. He
was esteemed a very capable writer, especially
in verse ; and as the Whig party needed every
strength, they feared, as well as courted him.
Though it was known that some of the liberty

songs, which he composed, were parodized
by him, in favor of the British, yet none dare
charge him with it. I wasa constant and crit-
ical observer of him, and I must say, that I
never thought him a man of principle; and
I doubted much in my own mind whether he
was a real Whig. I knew that he kept com-
pany with a Capt. Price, a half-pay British
officer, and that he frequently dined with him,
and Robinson, one of the Commissioners. I
know that one of his intimate acquaintance
asked him why he was so often with Robinson

and Price? His answer was, that he kept com-

OWN ACCOUNT (3

pany with them on purpose to find out their
plans. The day after the battle of Lexington, I
met himin Cambridge, when he shew me some
blood on his stocking, which he said spirted
on him from a man who was killed near him,
as he was urging the militia on. I well remem-
ber, that I argued with myself, if a man will
risk his life in a cause, he must be a friend to
that cause; and I never suspected him after,
till he was charged with being a traitor.

The same day I met Dr. Warren. He was
President of the Committee of Safety. He

engaged me as a messenger, to do the out

PAUL REVERE'S OWN ACCOUNT

Rte

of doors business for that committee: which
gave me an opportunity of being frequently
with them. The Friday evening after, about
sunset, I was sitting with some, or near all
that committee, in their room, which was at
Mr. Hastings’s house in Cambridge. Dr.
Church, all at once, started up — Dr. Warren,
said he, I am determined to go into Boston
to-morrow — (it set them all a staring) — Dr.
Warren replied, Are you serious, Dr. Church?
they will hang you ifthey catch youin Boston.
He replied, I am serious, and am determined

to go at all adventures. After a considerable

oe

conversation, Dr. Warren said, If you are
determined, let us make some business for
you. They agreed that he should go to get
medicine for their and our wounded officers.
He went the next morning; and I think he
came back on Sunday evening. After he had
told the committee how things were, I took
him aside and inquired particularly how they
treated him. He said, that as soon as he got
to their lines,on Boston Neck, they made him
a prisoner, and carried him to General Gage,
where he was examined, and then he was sent
to Gould’s barracks, and was not suffered to

go home but once. After he was taken up,

for holding a correspondence with the Brit-
ish, I came across Deacon Caleb Davis ;—
we entered into conversation about him ; —
he told me, that the morning Church went
into Boston, he (Davis) received a billet for
General Gage — (he then did not know that
Church was in town) — when he got to the
General’s house, he was told, the General
could not be spoke with, that he was in private
with a gentleman; that he waited near half
an hour, when General Gage and Dr. Church

came out of a room, saree! together, like

persons who had been long acquainted. He
appeared to be quite surprised at seeing Dea-
con Davis there; that he (Church) went where
he pleased, while in Boston, only a Major
Caine, one of Gage’s Aids, went with him. I
was told by another person, whom I could
depend upon, that he saw Church go into
General Gage’s house, at the above time ; that
he got out of the chaise and went up the steps
more like a man that was acquainted than a
prisoner.

Some time after, perhaps a year or two, I
fell in company with a gentleman who studied

CA PAUL REVERE’S OWN ACCOUNT &

with Church; in discoursing about him, I re-
lated what I have mentioned above; he said,
he did not doubt that he was ‘in the interest
of the British ; and that it was he who informed
General Gage ; that he knew for certain, that
a short time before the battle of Lexington,
(for he then lived with him, and took care of
his business and books), he had no money
by him, and was much drove for money ;
that all at once, he had several hundred new
British guineas; and that he thought at the
time, where they came from.
